![TRAUMA INFORMED YOGA FOR WOMEN at The Portland Yoga Project @ The Portland Yoga Project | Portland | Maine | United States](https://www.portlandoldport.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/mariapictureforwebsite-200x300.jpg)
This class is designed for women survivors of trauma, including those experiencing chronic pain. The focus of this class is to befriend our bodies through movement, breath, and self-awareness to help regulate the nervous system, manage stress, and cultivate a sense of calm and groundedness. We will explore sensations of comfort and ease and emphasize listening to our own body’s wisdom, needs, and boundaries in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. We believe in the healing power of community and connection.
This class offers a supportive space for you to connect with fellow participants who share similar experiences and challenges. We will foster a sense of belonging and solidarity as we journey together towards healing and growth.
No prior experience of yoga is required! All women are welcome.
